1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start automating your user enrollment process, the first step is accessing Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to connect various applications seamlessly, including Thinkific and Cognito Forms.

Visit the Pabbly Connect website and sign in if you already have an account. If you are new, simply click on the ‘Sign Up Free’ button to create an account and receive 100 free tasks monthly. Once logged in, you will be directed to the dashboard where you can create workflows that automate your processes.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To automate the enrollment of users from Cognito Forms to Thinkific, you need to create a new workflow in Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner of the dashboard. Name your workflow something like ‘Enroll Thinkific User on Cognito Forms Submission’.

• Click on the ‘Create’ button to finalize the workflow name.
• Select the folder where you want to save this workflow.
• Understand that every workflow consists of a trigger and an action.

After setting up your workflow, you will be ready to define the trigger that starts the automation process.

3. Setting the Trigger for Cognito Forms

The next step in Pabbly Connect involves selecting Cognito Forms as your trigger application. This will initiate the workflow whenever a new form submission occurs.

Select the trigger event as ‘New Entry’. This means that every time a new entry is submitted through your Cognito Forms, Pabbly Connect will capture this response and trigger the subsequent actions.

• Copy the provided webhook URL from Pabbly Connect.
• Log in to your Cognito Forms account and access the form settings.
• Paste the webhook URL into the ‘Submit Entry Endpoint’ field and save your settings.

This setup ensures that whenever a new form is submitted, Pabbly Connect will automatically receive the data.

4. Enrolling Users in Thinkific

After setting up the trigger, the next step is to enroll the new user in Thinkific. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, select Thinkific as the action application.

Choose ‘Create User’ as the action event. You will need to connect your Thinkific account. Enter your Thinkific subdomain, which can be found in your account URL, and click ‘Save’. This connection allows Pabbly Connect to create new users directly in your Thinkific account.

Map the necessary fields such as first name, last name, and email from the Cognito Forms submission. Leave optional fields blank unless you wish to provide additional details. Click the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button to finalize the user creation.

This step ensures that the user is automatically created in Thinkific whenever they submit the Cognito Form.

5. Finalizing User Enrollment in a Course

The final step in the integration process using Pabbly Connect is to enroll the newly created user in a specific course in Thinkific. Again, select Thinkific as your action application.

This time, choose ‘Enroll User’ as the action event. You will need to select the course you want the user to be enrolled in and map the user ID received from the previous step.

Select the desired course from the dropdown menu. Map the user ID from the previous action step to ensure the correct user is enrolled. Click on ‘Save and Send Request’ to complete the enrollment process.

With this final step, you have successfully automated the entire process of enrolling users in Thinkific through Cognito Forms submissions using Pabbly Connect.
